Slave hdd error bios recognizes
I recently encountered a slave hdd error after windows completely locked up and had to hold the power button to turn off my machine.
Since then, i have been presented with a
"2nd slave disk error" then promptly followed by a message to reboot.
I boot into BIOS to see my hard drive recognized but with zero size. Every search ive currently performed has shown solutions/discussed issues with the drive not being recognized in the bios? Or other solutions show steps from within windows on another HDD?
Im honestly at a loss and can't fully grasp/adapt whats being spoken about on the search results. Im almost at the point of just marking the drive as faulty with a viking funeral, but i thought to try here.
750gb drive ST3750630AS
I have attempted to boot into linux through a live CD and mounting the drive to no avail. I am unable to test the drive in another machine nor burn off any smart monitoring tools.
Prior to this, the drive had no issues nor shown signs of failing (stuck heads/dreaded clicking, lock ups, failing to boot/spin). Im honestly at a loss on how to proceed further. Let alone access the drive to back up files to an external drive (which is recognised by the live CD)

Does your HDD cannot be recognized in BIOS ever when all another HDDs detached? PS. ST3750630AS is Seagate, not Western Digital...

@Akina that is something i forgot to add in. The only other device present is a Sata disk drive. Even when removing. Same error/situation happens. The external drive is only plugged in and connected as of when it is needed

Replacing SATA cable, attaching to another port?

@akina correct. Same problem, even in post "auto detecting sata . . . Ide hard disk" then cuts over to 4th slave drive error with the new port
